# Approval/Declining Process of Guest Passes

### **Moderating Guest Passes**

When creating or managing guest passes, you can enable moderation to control whether a guest pass is approved or declined. This can be configured in two places:

1. **Initial Guest Pass Creation:** Enable moderation during setup.
2. **Guest Pass Settings:** Adjust moderation settings after the guest pass has been created.

Moderation ensures that each guest pass requires administrative review and approval.

### **Actions Overview**

#### **Admin Actions** (Backend Operations)

Admin actions occur on the backend and are managed by administrators. These include:

* **Approve:** The guest pass is approved, allowing the guest to attend the event.
* **Refuse:** The guest pass is declined, preventing the guest from attending.
* **Reset to Pending:** The guest pass is returned to a pending state for further review.

**User Actions** (Guest Interactions)

User actions involve the guest’s interaction with the guest pass. These include:

* **Claimed:** The guest has successfully claimed their pass.
* **Unclaimed:** The guest has not yet claimed their pass.
* **Declined:** The guest has declined the pass.

### **Viewing Guest Passes in the Dashboard**

You can view guest passes for all events in the **Dashboard > Guest Passes** section. Clicking on the link for a specific event will take you directly to the guest pass listing, with the list already pre-filtered for that event. This helps you quickly find and manage guest passes relevant to your needs.\
